For $40 CAD I got a Pentium 3 850MHz, 256MB ram, and 20GB HD, with a 17" viewsonic flat CRT monitor. I am going to install Linux on this beast, or Rhapsody. Pictures: http://yfro…

I think I might have cracked my own problem; enabling me to install OS 9.2.2 without my original cube CPU, and without installing on another computer: 1. re-install Mac OS 10.4 (C…

Nice conquest! I've always liked the early IBM PC's, and OS/2 is friggen' awesome! Click to expand... I've always thought IBM made some pretty awesome stuff. Even when I was a …

OS/2 is friggen' awesome! Click to expand... Except for the default sounds in OS/2 3.0 Warp. They are extremely naff and irritating. Click to expand... They're rather annoy…

and get rid of that damn color classic board lol Click to expand... Just my opinion, but I reckon it would be a good idea to keep the original board in case you ever decide to…

If you still have the original CPU, swap that in, install, and swap back. You might want to get a legit full retail copy of 9.2.2. as well. Is the optical drive known good? ie w…

It's actually a good idea to wait several more days. There is a good chance that while it may seem dry, it may not actually be really dry.

I finally cleaned my IIci motherboard. I used a large diameter bucket with Alconox detergent mixed with warm water. It really brightened things up. It worked so well actually th…

Yeah, the only thing I can think of is to get a cheap G4 CPU online, like one that came out of a sawtooth or something. (I looked at pictures and they theoretically should work. bo…

Would love to see some photos of the 500 if you get a chance. I don't know this model, is it like the form factor of the 520 and 540 ("Blackbird") models? Click to expand... Th…

I also have a German Newton, and as far as I am aware, you can only change the language by changing the ROMs for an English version.

You've got a PM

Would love to see some photos of the 500 if you get a chance. I don't know this model, is it like the form factor of the 520 and 540 ("Blackbird") models?

Hi, I've got a Cube, upgraded with a PowerLogix 7448 1.7GHz CPU card. Now, I'd *really* like to be able to install OS9 on this machine. But I can't seem to get the damn thing righ…

This is very good news because I just bought a 128mb 72pin simm module. I bought an entire LC 550 machine today, so I can pull the board out of that when I receive it, put that int…

I'm fairly sure the guts of the 575 and 550 (apart from the logic board of course) are pretty much identical. The displays are the same (which is the most important factor), so it …

I've used a steel ruler to slide into a slot and then firmly push it up to slide up the tab, you need to remove the battery to take the top and bottom half of the casing apart. Ho…

I've got a dead PB100 that's been sitting in my closet for some time. The battery refuses to budge when I try to move it (the door won't move at all). Any tips for successful remov…

NVM I got an 550 board Now will a 575 board work in a 550? Also does the 575 and 550 use the same type of ram?

Know anyone selling an LC 550 board?

You have done one of the following, I trust: 1. Video hack to allow CC video operation in 640x480, which the replacement logic board demands (which I do not recommend as it effect…
